Overview
MOLDED FIBER GLASS ALABAMA PLANT 2 is a stormwater outfall in Opp, Alabama, serving an industrial facility. It operates under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permit framework.
MOLDED FIBER GLASS ALABAMA PLANT 2 is a stormwater outfall located at 18361 Galileo Drive in Opp, Covington County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS codes 326140 and 326199, which correspond to fiberglass manufacturing. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, subject to federal and state regulations. The facility operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial activities. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES permit program, including the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial stormwater. The outfall is designed to manage runoff from the plant's impervious surfaces and industrial operations, with typical controls including sediment basins, oil-water separators, or filtration systems to meet water quality standards. This outfall contributes to the management of stormwater in the Opp area, a small city in southern Alabama. The facility's location in an industrial zone means runoff may contain pollutants typical of fiberglass manufacturing, such as resins, solvents, or particulates. Proper operation and maintenance of stormwater controls are essential to protect receiving waters, which may include nearby streams or rivers in the Conecuh River watershed. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions helps minimize environmental impacts and supports local water quality goals.
Environmental context
The stormwater outfall discharges into local waterways within the Conecuh River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic habitats. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with heavy rainfall, increasing the risk of runoff-related pollution. Industrial activities at the fiberglass plant may introduce pollutants such as suspended solids, metals, or organic compounds, requiring effective stormwater management to protect downstream water quality and aquatic life.
